The New York Petition for Commencing Non-Payment Proceeding is a legal document used to start a debt collection process where a creditor is seeking repayment from a debtor. The petition is filed with the court and served to the debtor, demanding payment. The petition is typically used when the debtor has failed to pay after multiple attempts by the creditor to try to collect the debt. The New York Petition for Commencing Non-Payment Proceeding includes the names of both parties, the amount of the debt, the date the debt was incurred, the date of the last payment, and an explanation of why the debt is unpaid. The creditor must also provide evidence that the debt has not been paid. There are two types of New York Petition for Commencing Non-Payment Proceeding: The Summary Non-Payment Petition and the Regular Non-Payment Petition. The Summary Non-Payment Petition is used for smaller, simpler debts and has a simplified process. The Regular Non-Payment Petition is used for larger, more complicated debts and has a longer, more involved process.
